Hauppauge 1341 USB-Live2: Capture, display and record old VHS tapes to your PC or Laptop, Black

Got this to replace a Dazzle DVC100 video capture because it wouldn't work on Windows 7, and this product really does the trick. The install of the WinTV product was fine (check the site for updates though), as was the also-bundled ArcSoft Showbiz video-editing software.I use WinTV for capture, and it produces great quality standard-definition captures for use elsewhere, and that's all I wanted from it.I have a few niggles, but I didn't down-star the product because I can live with them...First, when recording from some composite video source with WinTV, you can't put a duration in which means you have to stop recording manually. I wrote a little DOS batch job that counts down a duration and stops the Windows service "HauppaugeTVServer", and that sorted that out (comment-me your e-mail address if you would like this code).Second, the ShowBiz video-editing software (which can also record from the card) refuses to produce a widescreen 16:9 capture. I'm only a bit bothered because this software DOES have a duration feature so it'd be useful; I'm talking to their support to resolve this at the mo...Thirdly, it would have been nice if the product had used H264 in its recording, since you can get a heck of a lot more on a DVD (for example), if that's your thing. I think the more-expensive Hauppauge offerings do this, so I'll not hold it against this product.So, that's it. Great value, and works fine within its specification.

Great bit of kit gets around the issue of not being able to record live tv onto dvd. Very simple to use and picture quality just as good as dvds. Highly recommend.

I got this for Let's Play console capture with the PS2 and Wii (mainly PS2), and, for the PS2 capture, it's perfectly fine for 480, borderline 720 footage (Actual capture is 720x576). Frame-rate's good, didn't see any blending or ghosting, and all in all, extremely happy with this! The compact design is also a plus, although it does need a USB extender unless you like keeping your consoles close to your recording desktop/laptop.The software that comes with it, ArcSoft Showbiz, can capture PS2 footage with no lag, which really helps cut out the middlemen, wiring wise, and is easy to use, although its editing options aren't that great. But considering I got this card and its software for capturing, not editing? Great!

Excellent product, works perfect on Windows 10 as of June 2018. Software easy to download and install. Simple interface makes it easy to use. Product comes with two software programs. I mainly used the WinTV (as opposed to Hauppauge capture) as I was not interested in uploading the videos to YouTube but it also works fine. One thing to note is not all VCRs have male composite connectors (this product is USB to female composite) I used a SCART to composite convertor that I had in the house and it worked perfectly. Would definitely recommend if you want to back up your old VCRs

pictures seems good when transfering vhs videos to pc,no dropped frames or pc crashing.

Rubbishwe Have bought three of these and they have all failed and are being returned for a refund. will try and find another solution

Wanted to digitise some HI8 tapes, bought this as a replacement for a cheap £15 capture card that left the feed in a flickery, black and white mess.Still flickery in parts, which it seems can't be fixed without a device that can do timebase correction - but miles better than the other no-name one I bought, and for such a low cost I couldn't be happier. Would definitely buy again.I was skeptical of the software included, usually proprietary software for devices like these are not even worth installing - but after a lot of fiddling with OBS and Streamlabs to little success, I gave in and installed Hauppage Capture and found it not only did the job but did it cleanly and easily, even on Windows 10 it worked without having to fiddle and had surprising amount of customisation. Excellent product all around.

This works on video/s-video with ADOBE FMLE but not with audio as well which is pretty common with USB capture dongles in my experience. The capture quality is good and the build quality is reassuring with a much better breakout cable connection than a K-World USB2 device of cheaper alternative.I have not used the enclosed software so I won't pass comment.As always download the latest drivers.
